The GNWT and the Tłı̨chǫ Government are entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on housing. This step commits both governments to a formal framework for intergovernmental cooperation on housing-related matters.

The MOU on housing acknowledges and builds on previous cooperative efforts between Housing NWT (formerly the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation) and the Tłı̨chǫ Government through the GNWT- Tłı̨chǫ Government Housing Working Group.
